Florida state legislators are hurrying to finish this session which ends tomorrow, Tuesday, April 17th. Among the bills which will likely get a boost is one that requires child safety restraint seats for children as old as seven. But voters need to call their state senators and reps right away as budgetary issues may force the clock to run out on this important bill. Car accidents are the...

We see it every day. A person injured in an auto accident goes to the doctor for common pains that result. Even without health insurance, Personal Injury Protection or PIP, which every person pays for as part of their auto policy, can mean the difference between finding problems or letting chronic conditions go undiagnosed. But the insurance lobby wants to get rid of PIP and the up to $10,000...
